I found this pack of shredded tofu in the fridge in Hutchinson’s Fruit and Veg on Stanhope Street.(mandarin: gansi, doufu si … these long shreds are just like noodles).Made by the Oriental Dragon tofu factory across the river in Gateshead.They don’t seem to have a website but they’ve been making lots of lovely tofu for years.

Today Julia from Time Exchange arrived to fill the holes in the plaster in my airing cupboard.I also continued to declutter paperwork. I am throwing away old coursework from 2004… why am I storing all these old papers, nearly 5 years old?
